ORLANDO, Fla. — Apparently, when you’re 93, missing out on the Hall of Fame hurts more with each passing year.

Marvin Miller, the founding executive director of the Players Association, again was denied entrance to the Hall by one vote Monday in balloting among the 16 members of the Hall’s Expansion Era Committee.

Afterward, the 93-year-old Miller had a message for the committee, comprised of Hall of Famers, media types and club executives: Thanks for nothing.

“The Baseball Hall of Fame’s votes (or non-votes) of Dec. 5 hardly qualifies as a news story,” Miller said in a statement released by the union. “It is repetitively negative, easy to forecast and therefore boring. … It is an amusing anomoly that the Hall of Fame has made me famous by keeping me out.”
